First Shark of Season Detected In Cape Waters

CHATHAM - Sharks are back in the waters of Cape Cod and the Islands with the first detected shark of the season being a returning face that helped make history in the marine science world.

The 14 ft shark Lee Beth made history in February when she was tracked deep into the Gulf of Mexico to just south of the Texas border.

It's the farthest west an Atlantic white shark has ever been tracked.

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy says that she's been reported again through their Sharktivity app just off the coast of Cape Cod as scientists start seeing more signs of their seasonal return, including bite marks in whales and seal carcasses.
